Baiting and Setting Halibut Gear | Alaska Longlining

Halibut fishing has to be my favorite!! 👍👍

So the dogs have their day.

Great stuff! Thanks guys!! God bless your great family. Merry Christmas!!

I love your comment when you said mug up and join us. Coffee 😊

The Best . Thanks

A suggestion. When doing some of the mundane tasks such as baiting hooks, specify the parts such as hook type, size, leader type and length and snap type. I think it is interesting for us not in the business.

Im sure you are glad that dog fish set done seen that down here many times myself and I love your boat what a troller it must have been in it's early days

I really like the time clock .

Wishing your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Good Morning to you! Great to See you guy's and the Emrelad Isle looks great! Stay Safe and have a fishy trip!!

Good morning and good luck feel them up keep the faith and merry Christmas thanks for the video

Tuff end of the year. Hope the Tanner crabs fill your hold.

Really want you to try out a catch and cook for your peeps in Texas, guy! Love the fishing love Alaska and GET THEM FISHES!~!

Why do you drive so far to fish? Aren’t there any fish closer?

I’ll probably be annoyed one day when I catch that thing. 🤣👍
Truer words were never spoken.
Thanks for bringing us along on your journeys.

So that was fishing and not catching on that set

Thanks for the good entertaining content. Learning a lot about the fishing industry. And a thank you to & Matt for explaining everything from baiting the hooks, to various knots. Even how best to plumb the tanks!
Mug up 👍

I haven't seen so many sharks. Did you get a count of how many you caught. Thanks for sharing, and better luck on the next set.

Great video matt looks exciting. I guess if you do the job every day it's just regular. You guys do it very well. You are blessed 😮

I remember jigging at night to catch bait squid and a list of others lol but that's the old days sometimes fishing 30 miles out sometimes 300 to 6oo hundred feet or fifth and 100f miles of lines lol those were the days

I wish you and your family a warm Christmas holiday and a Happy New Year.

Can’t you use the sharks for bait?

An angler's loop, otherwise known as a perfection loop.
I really like how you take the time to get a good camera angle to show the different knots, and tackle you use.
There are lots of little things you often show that make your videos worth watching.
It Sure it’s fun to watch hauling nice Halibut, and it’s nice to learn something at the same time.

As a new member to your channel, I was wondering if you had any idea which part of the bait gets hit the most?

Can you use spiny dogfish for bait?

Great tutorial. And again, superb camera angle and editing. Thanks.

like the summary at the end

Well...........I guess that's why they call it fishing and not "catching"

Shame you guys got no market for dog fish ,in the UK they were known as rock salmon and sold in fish and chips shops, seems to have declined over the years

What would it take to get into the east coast market for those sharks?

With all of those sharks and starfish that you bring up, you could have an aquarium and make extra monies with that. Just saying. 🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐙

Can you use some of the sharks as cut bait? If you can, you will never run out of bait.

Man, I feel for you guys when you do all the hard work and you get such a poor catch. I hope the coming crab season is better for you. I do like the new boat set up and it looks more comfortable to fish. Cheers and best wishes for Christmas and the new year from Oz

I don’t mind the slow hauls it’s a pleasure just going along with you ❤❤❤❤❤stay safe my friends

Can you use shark for bait?

a dry run once in a while makes you appreciate the good one more! still a great video, best to your family and MERRY CHRISTMAS

If sharks and starfish were the target species you had a great haul. The joys of being a commercial fisherman .

love how you have your son fishing with you i really miss fishing with my dad

coffee is a great idea ! thank you.

Sharknado.

bad luck on that one!!!

Thank you guys for taking us along on this trip! We love your episodes, thank you and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! We will be in touch ❤

We look forward to the next episodes!

sharks and skates............that sucks............

what was that count? sharks 398 halibut 2?

Awesome weather unfortunately the hooks came up fairly empty or the wrong prey. Funny how it can be great fishing in crappy weather yet stinky in wonderful weather. Go figure! 👍💖

did you refer to the top line over your boat as a bird line? what is the function of this? ** EDIT, it looks like its a set length of line that trails behind the boat with lines to disturb the water above your line, maybe to literally stop birds from eating and hooking themselves on the sinking line? someone let me know

I'm wondering " WHERES THE BEEF" Fishing has slowed down for you guys. Always fun to watch 😮

I hate dogfish

Sharks and skate. Bugger!!
